So the quotes are direct and not paraphrased? Looks like I’m the one without my finger on the pulse of human interaction then.

  I mean, to be fair, these events happened several years ago. My memory is as faulty as any other human being's, but as far as I remember, this is exactly what happened. These were very memorable events that I remember distinctly. It's possible my memory is distorted, but this is literally what I believe happened to the best of my ability. Obviously, there was more to the conversation that what I wrote, but these are the actual words that I remember being said. For more context, the PM at Apple in question was a former colleague of my then girlfriend. I reached out to her to have a friendly catch up. It wasn't positioned as meeting officially with Apple. I was literally just going through LinkedIn trying to figure out who I knew at Apple. So I hit her up on LinkedIn and asked to catch up, then told her about the situation. And this is how she responded. Worth noting: English is not her native language.

    Amusing to get the Trisolaran response to a warm intro. I suppose there’s all kinds of people in the world. Unlucky there. I can’t imagine anyone treating me like that and I’ve dealt with billionaires. Hilarious to have some L3 FAANG act like Genghis Khan.

      Yeah, this is why I was begging investors for a high-level intro to someone at Apple, because I was very afraid that I’d run into some random bureaucrat that would have a similar response.
